wuhoo! my first chance to get a whine in.
today in the MA i was furballing like crazy trying to defend my base from the bish onsluaght when i came face to face with a diving pony at 1k. we flew straight at each other and at 200yrds i opened fire becuase the collision was inevitble. go down fighting i thought. at around 50yrds one of my bullets made a good hit on the pony's cockpit and 'BOOM', the enemy exploded into a million pieces as i flew right through the heart of the explosion. heart pounding, i 'ctrl D' ed it and was happy to see no damage. i swear it was like a scene out of a film where the hero escapes painfull death by a large amount of luck.
i then posted a simple 'lol' on ch1 buffer as i thought it was going to be a mutual feeling of humour.
The pilot in question then decided i was a noobie dweeb and challenged me to fight him n the DA. i agreed.
We went to the DA and, worryingly for me, the plane was called as the p38 ( i have little or no experience in this elite war bird aside from jabbos and a few tank busting missions)
The duel rolled off and a good 10 minute fight ensued, both parties having oppertunities and it was a close thing untill, yes, you guessed it, i lost.
i post an '
, good fight' and suggest it is only fair if we try a duel in a spit V. at which point i am told that this will not happen as this is a 'dweeb' plane. i say 'ok, you beat me but now show yourself to be ignorant' and left the DA
Back in the MA i admit defeat and get back in my 190A5 for some more base defence. The pilot i fought then posted on ch1, 'had your arse rammed did ya mechanic?' hmmmm, then 'i'll use lube next time'
OK. so i whine-typed too much and i doubt many of you will read this but my point is
You cant challenge someone to a duel, decide all the conditions, beat them after a hearty combat, recieve an 'S' for winning, refuse to fly again in a plane of your opponents choice, and then return to the MA with boasts of kicking some butt!
Unmentioned pilot, you know who you are and in my opinion you really should get off your high horse. i'll let you practice a bit, but when you think your ready for a spit V duel come back to me, and if you then win, you may go and bad mouth me as much as you like.
Failing that, come to London UK and i will show you my two favorite varieties of knuckle Burgers.
im not the aggresive, unreasonable type. anyone who beats or loses to me in MA will back me up on that.
Right. thats it. whine over (happy thoughts, happy thoughts, theres no place like home, theres no place like home)
